Re: Displaying product pictures (frames or new windows?)

G'day

> They can't handle frames.

It's true (as far as I know) that most search engines will not index
individual frames

>You won't get indexed or spidered

In my experience however, the above statement is not always true.

> They ban framed sites.

My site uses frames.  It's listed in many search engines/catalogues, including
Yahoo (which accounts for about 80% of the search engine hits to my site).
Maybe I was lucky?

>We all know how well banners work.

I'll agree with you there. Banner ads are (generally) a waste of space.  In
the three years I've been using the internet, I may have clicked through about
6 of them...  I wouldn't have a bar of putting a "link exchange" setup on a
commercial site either.

>if SE's tell you they ban frames - believe them.

Which SE's ban frames?

> I don't do frames anymore.  Its not up to discussion with me.  Won't do it!
> Just say no.

Personal choice.  Feel free to say NO to my site - no hard feelings.  I think
the "frames or not" question is a bit like the IE vs Netscape debate (but
that's another can of worms which we'll not open up here :-)
